What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Duac is a prescription medication specifically designed for the treatment of acne. It is applied topically in the form of a gel and effectively reduces the severity of acne symptoms. The medication contains an antibiotic component that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria responsible for causing acne.

Additionally, Duac incorporates Benzoyl Peroxide, which acts as both an antibiotic and an oil-reducing agent. By regulating oil production, helps prevent pores from becoming easily clogged and reduces the formation of blackheads on the skin.
